Characterization of the Area/Industry Impact

With the advent of numerous OTT streaming platforms, “cord cutting” is becoming a focus for traditional cable providers as their established and long-time customer base appears to be moving to other platforms. Couple that with dwindling numbers of potential new subscribers as the next generation of consumers enters that market that have grown up largely outside the traditional cable ecosystem, and it becomes necessary for the cable companies to continue to evolve and provide new services and enhanced platforms. Furthermore, streamed content has now outpaced the sale of like physical media, such as DVDs and Blu-ray discs, whose sales are declining year over year.

IP Challenges- Key Issues the Industry is Facing

They also need to show value of patents within their portfolios by showing evidence that their patented technologies are actually being used in commercial products and applications.
